It’s getting wet out again and I’ve come to the realization my boots are not waterproof anymore. I usually wear regular Altra shoes for walking, and their hiking shoes for hikes. They’re great because they’ve got wide toe boxes and I’ve got hooves that Beelzebub himself would go “damn those are some big clompers”, so wide toe boxes is kind of a need.
Anyways, anyone recommend any shoes or boots that are waterproof AND have wide toe boxes?
Inb4: “wear the wool socks”, I already wear the socks that are nice and warm when wet but it feels like trudging around in lukewarm piss. I’d really like to just stay waterproof as long as possible.

Size 13 clompers here, I love my altras that I wear day to day but my hiking boots are Oboz.
I just wore mine on a canoe trip in the rain this morning and my feet stayed nice and dry

This is enlightening, I’d never heard of them but their shoes and boots are exactly what I’m after. I really appreciate you taking the time to respond!

Merrell and Oboz are mine. In wide, the Oboz feel narrower than the Merrell. In the Oboz, I feel more confident.

Altra produces an Olympus goretex. I like my pair of mids that I own.

I’m a huge supporter of Danner boots for hiking and hunting. Main reason is I wear a 14 4E large toe box and I’ve owned a pair long enough to resole them 3 times. Danner Boots and hiking shoes
